Mauro Okongwu - Next KoF champ?

Fighter profile of Mauro Okongwu by Master Leader

From a small unknown village in Djibouti, Mauro did not have it easy growing up. Mauro was born into a very poor family and spent his days praying for the next meal. Mauro had to start working at just 12 years old on a farm, which enabled him to grow into a powerhouse at just 18 years of age. Mauro moved to Las Vegas at 18 and has been training at Xtreme Black House and improved exponentially since. Master Leader recognises Mauro as one of his greatest assets and has confidence in his ability to climb the ranks and be one of the top P4P fighters by the end of 2021.

Things haven't been easy for Mauro Okongwu, during his quest for gold. Since his test fight he was looking unstoppable and KO'ing mighty men with relative ease, however at KoF:IW GC XVIII during his first title shot against Deon Big Daddy, Mauro connected clean with a right hook that sent to Deon to one knee and while smelling blood, Deon stood up and immediately KO'd Mauro with a powerful head kick, stopping Mauro for the first time.

Since that fight, Mauro has implemented a rigorous training regime and bounced back with a vicious KO of Wilhelm Van Hoodonk.

Mauro is now set to fight power puncher Myles Ruth, who in an interview he was quote as saying "Myles isn't in my league - I am better than him in all aspects and you will see me come alive this weekend when I KO him in the first round". Big words Mauro, big words.

Stay tuned to find out if Mauro wins the belt, which would be the first belt earned by a Master Leader fighter since his return to MMA Tycoon.
